I carefully dissected a rare Sony WMC-NWH10 cable (the one that lets you plug a Walkman in to an external USB DAC) and figured out the necessary pinout and signalling resistor value.
You can carefully re-pin cheap WM-PORT connectors from AliExpress to the right pinout but I suspect you might need to harvest the pins from two to make a proper clone WMC-NWH10 cable.
Will post on my Dreamwidth when I have it working.

Excitingly this uses more than one of the pins marked RESERVED in the current public pinouts! The forbidden knowledge must flow.
